UEFA Investigates Polish Fans' Nazi Salute at Hapoel Tel Aviv Match
Hapoel Tel Aviv advanced to the Conference League playoff round after a 3-2 aggregate victory over Poland's Katowice. However, the aftermath of the match has been overshadowed by disturbing behavior from Katowice fans, who were recorded giving Nazi salutes towards Hapoel Tel Aviv supporters at the end of the game. Videos and photos shared on social media by Israeli fans appear to show some Katowice supporters performing the offensive gesture.
UEFA has announced it will investigate the incident and may impose disciplinary sanctions on the Polish club. If UEFA classifies the behavior as racist or discriminatory, penalties could include stadium closures or fines under its regulations. A decision is expected in the coming days.
Meanwhile, Hapoel Tel Aviv owner Moiz Safra celebrated the team's promotion on social media, reflecting on the club's rapid rise from the second division to European competition within two years. He thanked the club's supporters, staff, and players for their efforts in achieving this milestone.
